Re: starting bids on Ebay & Engine Temp
The whole idea is to generate interest in the auction. With a low or no bid count, quite a few people will overlook your auction completely. With a high bid count, they are more likely to check yours out, if not out of sheer curiosity. Those of us with more experience selling the big ticket items are offering you sound advice, it is now up to you whether or not to listen to it.

Just can't see the point in starting the bids at $100 or $1000 on a $60,000 car. What good does it do to generate bids from a bunch of people who can't afford to buy the car? Anyone who is SERIOUS and can AFFORD the car will bid on it at the realistic starting price I've set. I have had numerous emails from folks already interested in the car who have seen it on Ebay. Just because someone may not bid on it there doesn't mean it won't sell "off auction" to someone who contacts me directly.
As to the engine temp - this car has a HUGE 5-core griffin aluminum radiator and a HUGE puller fan that's hooked to the thermostat. I have NEVER seen anything abouve 100 degrees C on the Smith's Temp guage - even on the hottest days IN TRAFFIC.
